Some info about Kiddie Kandid

Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to let you know a couple things about Kiddie Kandid at BRU since we are all trying to get there for photo's. Now this was my experience at the Massapequa one.

They told us they will not accept appointments. So my sister kept calling just to make sure. They told us they were only doing walk ins because of the holiday's. So, we got there this morning when they opened and was one of the 1st ones on line. When we got to the service desk, PEOPLE HAD APPOINTMENTS!!!!!!!!!, eventhough they told us and other parents, they weren't.

We were so ****** and complained. They fit us in, but apparently if you called them that morning they would give you an appointment.

I just wanted to warn you incase they try to do this to you. It was really confusing and I don't know if one of the girls messed up or not, but it wasn't fair. They should all stick to it. Either TAKE Appointments or DON'T, but don't make it up as you go.


My little vent to Kiddie Kandid.

I do believe they take appointments since you can book them online. I know there were some openings last time I checked their site. Maybe they change things on the weekend though?

I do too, but my sister wanted the pics with the 3 kids. I'd rather do it myself and save the $$. That's what I"m doing for her Christmas cards this year.

I head the one in Westbury is much better.

I was just ****** because if you take appointments take them, otherwise, don't let anyone have the appointment.

The one time we went to Massapequa...we had an appointment but ended up waiting almost an hour and a half anyway. That place is nuts! I wouldn't go there again.

Re: Some info about Kiddie Kandid

I just went last week... They book up really fast online.. and the phones are busy by 9:30 int the morning... They only have a certain amount of aapointments they can make. They have to reserve some time for walk-ins.. It is pretty fair if you ask me, but this is a crazy time of year.... They told me some people pull their kids out of school just to get pictures done....

Their system isd stupid. They take one appointment per hour online or if you call in advance. But the morning of you can call and make an appointment for the other 2 or 3 time slots they have per hour. The employees dont explain it well. Also they are opening at 5 AM the day after thanksgiving.

I made an appointment at the Westbury one online, showed up when they suggested and they took us right in. They were turning people away who didn't have appointments. We had a great experience and i would definitely go back.

Re: Some info about Kiddie Kandid

I had a run with KK 2 weeks ago that totally PEEVED me off too, and I live in CT. Basically they give online appts and call ahead 1st priority now, walk ins are only done when they are not busy.
I even sent an email to customer service basically they told me tough and that i should make appts or call ahead then if I want to guarantee pictures. Nice right!

So sorry! That's SOOOoo messed up!
